    I'm hoping that someone may be able to help that has more knowledge than I do. Do all / few plumbers use crimping to join pipes ? It looks like a great solution but since I'm not familiar with plumbing it would be great to get some input. Cheers

    I use both. All new builds I would use crimp but most of the time in existing installations it's as handy to use copper and conventional fittings.

    I would also use copper in exposed area's like hotpress.
    I hate the site of plastic pipe in exposed areas.

    P.S. I love your cartoon:D

    Multi- Layer or crimped pipework is a great plumbing system, once the connections are done correctly its very reliable.
